“To study the works of any one man so that we are completely familiar with his ideas upon all important subjects—if the man have within him any element of greatness—is a task which is likely to repay the student’s work.... This fact makes the unique quality of the present volume ... quotations which deal with practically every subject to be found in more general anthologies.”—_Boston_ (Mass.) _Advertiser_. =The Psychology of Inspiration=. 8vo, cloth. (New Revised Edition). Net, =$2.00=; by mail, =$2.14= The book founds its conclusions on a study of the action of the human mind when obtaining and expressing truth, as this action has been revealed through the most recent investigations of physiological, psychological, and psychic research; and the freshness and originality of the presentation is acknowledged and commended by such authorities as Dr. J. Mark Baldwin, Professor of Psychology in Johns Hopkins University, who says that its psychological position is “new and valuable”; Dr. W. T. Harris, late United States Commissioner of Education and the foremost metaphysician in the country, who says it is sure “to prove helpful to many who find themselves on the border line between the Christian and the non-Christian beliefs”; and Dr. Edward Everett Hale, who says that “no one has approached the subject from this point of view.” The first and, perhaps, the most important achievement of the book is to show that the _fact_ of _inspiration_ can be _demonstrated scientifically_; in other words, that the inner subconscious mind _can_ be influenced irrespective of influences exerted through the eyes and the ears, _i.e._, by what one sees or hears. In connection with this fact it is also shown that, when the mind is thus inwardly or inspirationally influenced, as, for example, in hypnotism, the influence is _suggestive_ and _not dictatorial_. Not only so, but such faith as it is natural and right that a rational being should exercise can be stimulated and developed in only the degree in which the text of a sacred book is characterized by the very vagueness and variety of meaning and statement which the higher criticism of the Bible has brought to light. The book traces these to the operation and requirements of the human mind through which inspiration is received and to which it is imparted. Whatever inspires must appear to be, in some way, beyond the grasp of him who communicates it, and can make him who hears it _think_ and _train him to think_, in the degree only in which it is not comprehensive or complete; but merely, like everything else in nature, illustrative of that portion of truth which the mind needs to be made to find out for itself.
